Hello brothers and sisters in Christ, My name is Zachary, and my interest in the LDS comes several years ago at my town's local library, where I went down the religion section and saw the Book of Mormon. Whenever I would go there, it would seem the Book would beckon me, and I would want to read it. I never did, because I didn't want people to think I was "odd" for having an interest in Mormonism. I come from a family of Catholics and Methodists. I have attended a Methodist church, but ti doesn't "seem right." However, in researching Mormonism, it seems right, and most, if not all, of what the LDS believes I believe in personally. My family thinks my religious views are rather odd, but I have always been a proponent of pre-mortal existences and the existence of other gods. The LDS just seems right. I have a few concerns, but once summer rolls around, I hope to be a member! Bless you all.

Hello, all. I am interested in joining the LDS Church, but naturally, I have a few questions and concerns before I attend my first meeting. 1. The Health Code - I know it's serious, but I LOVE coffee, and it's hard to give up. Tea I can go without. However, I am slowly weening myself off of it. 2. As far as I know, none of my family members were a part of the LDS Church. Can I still be a Mormon? I don't know if I have any Mormon ancestors. 3. How do the baptismal and confirmation processes work? 4. What is the "endowment ceremony?" 5. I am finishing college, and should be done a year from now. If I am to do a missionary service, how will it work? I can't devote my life right now for two years until I finish school. That's it for now. If I think of anything else, I will post more. Thanks! Bless you all.
